McIlroy: PGA Tour, LIV Golf too divided for merger
21 Jan
Summary
- Rory McIlroy believes PGA Tour and LIV Golf are too far apart for reconciliation.
- He is focused on finding joy and playing tournaments he wants to attend.
- McIlroy still aims for an Olympic medal and specific major championships.

Rory McIlroy has stated that he believes the PGA Tour and LIV Golf have diverged too significantly to reconcile. Speaking on Wednesday at the Dubai Desert Classic, McIlroy expressed doubt about any future alliance between the two circuits.
He feels that for any reunification to occur, all parties would need to compromise extensively, leading to a sense of loss for everyone involved. McIlroy suggested that the tours are simply too distant for such an outcome.
Having recently finished tied for third at the Dubai Invitational, McIlroy is now focused on rediscovering joy in his golf career. He aims to play in tournaments he genuinely wants to participate in, rather than those he feels obligated to attend.
